"I want you to marry me."

Miss Georgiana Wickford has a plan to avoid the marriage mart – she'll propose a marriage of convenience! She hasn't spoken to the Earl of Ashenden since their childhood friendship was torn apart, but now Edmund is her only hope.

Edmund refuses to take any bride. But when he sees beautiful Georgie it arouses his protective instincts. And soon the earl is tempted to claim the daring debutante for himself!
